0 I can't think of a real-life situation where such a sentence is needed! It's a strange thing to say. Leaving out the second 01i 00to the02i 00 would make it even stranger I think.

0 Were you asking in the general case if two different objects of a preposition could be coordinated by 01i00and02i00? That's certainly true.02br

0 Yeah, I wanted to know if would be correct to suppress the bold part of the sentence. Using your examples:02br

01i00This job has to be done 01u00with needle and 01b00with 02b00thread.02br
